Quick Summary
Joe Lycett and Stephen Mangan enjoy a whistlestop tour of Rio de Janeiro
About This Program
Joe Lycett and Stephen Mangan travel to Rio de Janeiro for a whistlestop tour. From their luxurious base on Copacabana beach, they sample culinary delights, indulge in their fair share of tropical cocktails, visit the famous Christ the Redeemer statue on Corcovado mountain and challenge themselves to a spot of paragliding. They also pump some iron and receive a crash-course in futevoli - the volleyball-football hybrid taking the country by storm. The trip later takes a cultural turn, including a tour exploring the history of bossa nova and a climb up the Selaron steps, a spectacularly tiled staircase
